LFEC10E-4QN208C

The LFEC10E-4QN208C is an EC-family FPGA from Lattice Semiconductor designed to deliver mainstream FPGA capabilities in a compact surface-mount package. It combines roughly 10,200 logic elements, flexible I/O and on-chip memory to address mid-density programmable logic needs in commercial applications.

This device is targeted at cost-sensitive designs that require a balance of logic capacity, I/O density and low-voltage operation for system integration and interface functions.

Key Features

• Logic Capacity — Approximately 10,200 logic elements for mid-range logic integration and control functions.
• On‑chip Memory — Approximately 282,624 total RAM bits (around 0.28 Mbits), with embedded block RAM and distributed RAM resources consistent with the LFEC10 family.
• I/O and Package — 147 user I/Os in a 208-pin BFQFP / 208-PQFP (28 × 28 mm) package, supporting dense peripheral and interface routing on compact PCBs.
• Flexible I/O Standards — Family-level programmable I/O buffer support for a wide range of standards including multiple LVCMOS voltage levels, LVTTL, SSTL, HSTL, PCI and differential interfaces such as LVDS and LVPECL.
• Clocking — Up to four analog PLLs per device (family feature) for clock multiplication, division and phase shifting.
• Dedicated DDR Support — Family-level support for dedicated DDR memory interfaces (implements up to DDR400 / 200 MHz as a family capability).
• Power and Mounting — Low-voltage core operation with supply range 1.14 V to 1.26 V; surface-mount package suitable for automated PCB assembly.
• Commercial Grade and Compliance — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C operating temperature and RoHS compliant.

Typical Applications

• Memory Interface and Buffering — Implements DDR interface logic and on-chip memory to support external memory controllers and buffering tasks.
• Protocol Bridging and Communications — Flexible I/O standards and 147 I/Os enable protocol translation and interface consolidation in communication equipment and gateways.
• Embedded Control and System Glue Logic — Mid-range logic capacity and programmable clocking make the device suitable for control, sequencing and glue logic in commercial electronic products.

Unique Advantages

• Balanced Logic and Memory — Around 10,200 logic elements paired with approximately 0.28 Mbits of on-chip RAM provides a practical balance for many mid-density designs.
• High I/O Density in a Compact Package — 147 I/Os in a 208-pin 28 × 28 mm PQFP footprint lets designers achieve high interface counts without moving to larger BGA packages.
• Low‑Voltage Operation — Core supply range of 1.14 V to 1.26 V supports modern low-voltage system architectures.
• System-Level Features — Family-level support for multiple PLLs, boundary-scan and SPI boot flash interface simplifies system integration and bring-up.
• Commercial Temperature and RoHS Compliance — Rated for 0 °C to 85 °C and RoHS compliant for broad commercial deployment.

Why Choose LFEC10E-4QN208C?
